Any Land Cruiser Owners?

[ravenhog]

Just checking to see if there are any more Landcruiser owners on Ts

[dyogim]

I was almost an owner back in Dec 03 on a 76 FJ40 Land cruiser.

[Matador98]

Yep, I have one, an FJ60 (see avatar). Soon two, if my wife gets the FJ40 she wants.

I own a 1997 Collectors Edition. I bought it new, added a superchager to it a couple of years ago (Big help). I just added a center differental lock switch so I can use the factory lockers in high.

Just bought my '05 but I think you are probably refering to older FJ models.

Bought a 2004 LC for my wife last summer. We LOVE this truck, and I kinda want one for myself, but can't really justify $120K in iron sitting in the garage, so one will have to do.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with it, other than the cheap plastic fake wood they glued to the dash / window switch panels.

Purchased it new, love it, great truck.

I learned to drive on an 01 Land Cruiser. My parents are sitll driving it. That thing is a beast and has taken quite a beating.

I'm in the process of taking the wood trim out of my '94 FJ80. All it takes on the '94 is elbow grease. The plastic underneath is pristine!

Do you ever run in low range without the lockers?? I've ot my eye on the center diff. switch mod. Where'd you find yours? Man-A-Fre? SleeOffroad?

I have a 76 FJ40 and my wife drives the 2000 UZJ100.

I'm thinking about installing a mobile DVD system in the 2000 and looking at the head rest units - anyone have any experience installing one of these?

Try a guy named Dan in the parts department at:
American Toyota
3400 Calle Cuervo Northwest, Albuquerque, NM, 87114
505-899-9513

He can get you the parts you need and sent them to you or point you in the right direction for the right price. Guaranteed.

Good luck.

I am very lame, and have a lot of freetime, so i have a website dedicated just to my rig. Check it out: http://www.yankeetoys.org/mangler/
A friend and i also have a small fab company and build EVERYTHING for our rigs ourselves. We will be making products for the Tundra soon! Within the next month or so we will be offering rear bumpers, bed bars and some really nice sliders!
Here is a link to that site and some of our work (lame pics):

[chowell]

Proud owner of a 1999 with 180k running like a top. Previously owned a '65 FJ40 and a 1996 FZJ 80. Also owned multiple 4runners and Pickups including a 1997 T100 and currently 2000 Tundra. Loved every one.

[lowenbrau]

I have a small fleet of increasingly old Cruisers. I'm a diesel biggot and I've been holding out for Toyota's return importing diesels to Canada. The Tundra is the next hope and that's why I'm here.
